  1. That goes against how we play. Everyone is lauding the Pies for their ā€œpositiveā€ football but in my reality they were the Steven Bradbury of the finals. I like our defensive mindset, it’s tough and uncompromising. I’m certainly in agreement that we need some outside polish and a key forward but I don’t see us making huge changes to a game plan that stacks up against the best. Now Jimmy Gadson my friend, I know you want to out Collingwood Collingwood next year but I just don’t see that happening. Put a fit Petty in there, get Turner to train forward over the preseason, Joel Smith to have an uninterrupted preseason, Fritsch to remain fit, McAdam to have the kind of preseason that has him cherry ripe. Add to that the hoped improvement of Woewodin, Howes and Laurie, a top 5 draft pick and boy oh boy is 24 going to be one sweet ride.
  2. 100% of the time we'd win 7 out of 10 times.
  3. I’d say access to a good psych is paramount for anyone who engages in the world
  4. Hawthorn right in the hunt by the looks
  5. He’s going to need to work very hard to play a senior game. He does have that TDK look going for him so who knows.
  6. Was the reply "Win a Flag at OUR home ground" ?
  7. Who says we’re not a destination club!
  8. After all this we’ll likely lose Jordan, Harmes, Grundy, swap a few draft picks and go to the draft. Feels like we’ve missed Reid and surely McKay’s not going anywhere. Curnow for all his excellence was a complete bust when it really mattered. Carlton won’t ship McKay off unless it’s a godfather deal and we ain’t giving them that……or are we?
  9. To help us win Flags, at least the next 2.
  10. I'd take him for a pick in the late 20's. It's a pity they don't want Grundy. Straight swap oughta cover it.
  11. If he runs out in a Melbourne jumper I will Boo him.
  12. I just want this spud off our list. He gave us very little and he still smells like a Collingwood player. I’ll boo him at my pleasure next year šŸ˜‚
  13. How’d you know?
  14. That’s Gold right there
  15. I would of happily replaced Oliver with Petty in the finals
  16. The Tiges won 3 flags with a weaker list but they never ever rolled over
  17. If we had real strength we would have beaten Carlton by 6 goals, rolled Brisbane and smacked the Pies. We watched Gawn go down against Brisbane in round 2 and ran to Mummy. Then watched Gus go down and ran crying to Mummy. Then lost our innards and got rolled by Carlton. Teams with deep fortitude and resilience just don’t do that. We’re a bit weak.
  18. Once again we’re at a point where we are being tested as a club. Again I think we lack the internal fortitude to come out stronger. Hopefully I’m wrong but……..
  19. Massive unders, were basically giving up Pick 5 and Oliver for Reid and a later pick.....
  20. It’s pretty clear the club are prepared to move mountains to get Reid. They’ve long wanted him. I’d suggest the club has allowed the Oliver story out to see what comes back. The chance of it happening remain very small. I’m backing the club on this.
  21. I saw him interviewed on On The Couch. He’s a bogan who’s been forced into finishing school. It was cringeworthy viewing.
  22. Personally I think it’s all [censored] and Nudge claiming to have been in the know smells like that [censored] but hey, I’m upfront that I know nothing.
  23. He’d be a great get I think.
  24. You’re not a trade breaker
  25. If North think they’re getting Reid and an Oliver deal is in the offing then Sheezel could be part of the deal. I still can’t see it happening.
